I hired Attorney Pattis in a desperate attempt to have my civil rights protected. After hearing my story, Pattis counseled me, first, by stating, "Well, we have to save your house...I don't deal with foreclosures, so you need to lawyer-up." And, having trusted my attorney's advice, I did just that.... As years passed, my case was delegated to minions in his office -- which, understandably, is his right -- but trying to get a response back was next to impossible and extremely frustrating for someone who is standing in the dark waiting to be heard and scared to death because they're spending their life's savings trying to save their home by dutifully following their attorney 's advice. I mean, if you can't trust your attorney... For Norm, I guess this was just a failure that will never be publicized. He is an excellent writer and sounds great on paper -- a warrior lawyer -- but don't let that fool you. In the end, Norm Pattis did not do the right thing, by me, other than humbly acknowledging an email, I sent him, expressing my dissatisfaction, by stating, "I get it. I get it." Well, if he really got it, he would have done the right thing and reimbursed me the money I paid for him to do his job. Of course, that will never happen, but maybe someone can learn from my mistake. Unfortunately, this brilliant man/lawyer didn't even come close to satisfaction. I never made it to court. I was never given a say. My case was thrown out. Why would such a brilliant experienced lawyer take on such a case? So, buyer beware.

My name is Anna and i was involved in a high profile case in 2012 that went world wide with media . i met with Normal Pattis . He came to Rikers Island where iwas held on a 2 million bail and within a few minutes i knew he was the right lawyer and could go the distance. He handled my case with impecc...able legal skills and his handling of the press was an added bonus. He went after the DAs office like a Pitt bull and was relentless. He is one of today most brilliant legal minds and anyone with a criminal case should count their blessings if Norman Pattis is standing beside them in a court room. He has a vast knowledge of not only criminal law but civil and very crafty at using it. He filed a vindictive prosecution suit against the state and got my 2 million dollar bail lowered to 250k in a short time. I considered myself lucky to have him as my lawyer and his staff. The dont make lawyers like him anymore. Anna
